Did you know?

Yes, I did know. All this new technology coming at us has been coming for quite some time. When I was a young man, none of this technology was available to the public because it did not exist. The changes that have incurred have been phenomenal to watch. Just imagine a world where most households had just one phone, and it was attached to your house. Huh? you ask. Yes, if you wanted to make a call, you found a phone booth or went home. Messages were written on a note pad and left for you to read when you got home. Amazing all of us old people survived, huh?
Just think, your "Blackberry" or "I" phone has more computational power in it than has ever been to the moon. There are more people walking around with a communication device shoved in their ear than I have ever seen on Star Trek! All of you young people who accept this as everyday do not know what it's like to have lived and watched this transformation to this new age. But you will know and it will not take long and I for one am most excited to see what the future holds.
